Assalamualaikum,
Wow...it's 2014 already ...I've been gone for so long I guess.
Happy (be lated) New Year everyone...
At the end of 2013 I got a special delivery from my father in law. My own sewing table he made for me. Yay...It's a 'real' sewing table and perfect. Now my sewing machine has its own place. All this time I was sharing table with my 7 yo boy (Well, I'm petite, so I have no problem with that... yet.)

| Yay... |
So, in order to 'celebrate' the new workspace and welcoming new year, I decided to make a new curtain for my kids room. And lucky me...I found a beautiful linen with theme I wanted all this time. It's the festival flag theme...just perfect for decorating kids room.
I never sew a curtain before and I didn't know how, actually. So I just 'do it'.
I did not make a lot of cutting nor sewing on the fabric. I just hemmed the both side, added trim on the top and straps.
The sewing did not take a lot of time, but sewing on buttons was so time consuming. Button?
Yes, 2 snap buttons on every strap. Sound unusual? I don't know. I just 'do it'.
We have regular curtain rod in the house (the one that has rail on it and need little hook to hang the curtain). I don't want to take it down, so I have to improvise on the strap.
Adding snap button on the strap was the perfect solution. I used a 1/2'' snap button.
After an on and off days here it is.....my very first curtain
